Was looking at the w3 chassis, run a manners atm on my 308
Just get a C&R FFL. Just google it. Takes 5 min, $30 for 3 years.Can I borrow your loginthat pricing isn’t working for me...
I started with a CTR in 260. I started with the 140 Hornady HPBT, went to the 140 ELDM, and then the Nosler 140 RDF as they liked a lot of jump. Depending on the bullet, I could get into the lands if I wanted to. When that barrel was shot out i went 6.5 Creedmoor and haven't looked back. I used a 23.5" Bartlein medium palma and I picked up a 20" CTR 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. I am switching to the 20" in a couple of weeks for deer season.
So your saying that Brownells offers a discount for a C&R FFL but you still have to have the "new" firearm shipped to a valid FFL in your state and legally submit the background check and whatever transfer fee that dealer charges....?
Earlier in this thread someone asked about stippling a KRG Bravo. They stipple very well along with the CTR bolt knob.
I have really liked to fine tune my Tikka rifles.
Love these both, could not think any other.

Yes, you send them a copy of your C&R and they set you up with a dealer account. All the same rules apply for FFL items.
Thanks for the info. I've read the regulations and it seems like a pretty simple process to get one.
Huber says they're working on one ..don't know when or single or double stage....hopefully double...
No prob. Keep in mind, I’ve neever seen a price difference as drastic as that Tikka. Most discounts are much less, but even the savings from 1 TrigerTech paid for the C&R
Yea, lots do. Honestly, too many to list. Just check with everyone you normally buy from. Redhawk rifles was a recent surprise for Proof barrels.
I hope they'd make a dedicated left - handed version, as well - so we wouldn't have to bubba the plastic.
It's all steel so no target pics haha, made some 7 and 800 yd hits, got consistent with the 6" gong at 600
Took this beast a walk in the hills tonight....still love at first site

The vism mat/bag off Amazon, it's much nicer than I thought. Works great and I like the double use so I don't have to carry a mat around anymore
Yea I called them a few months back. I was thinking about trying a bix and andy
Man, their Copperhead finish looks amazing. I didn't like the photos of it on their site, but wow... that is sexy! I'm tempted to send mine in and have them redo it to one of the new colors.
Now: Stainless or Blued steel ?
The barrel will get replaced one day with a stainless Krieger or Bartlien blank so is it worth the extra $ at this point ?
Does the CTR come with a Pic Rail as part of the package ?
If you are for sure going to swap barrels then save the bucks for the new one and yes they come with a 0 moa rail.
A little conversion I have been working on- 16” 300 blackout (PVA Tube), MPA Lite chassis. Will be trying out my 45 Obsidian on it to see if it’s quiet enough. Might throw the Omega on if not. Should be a pretty fun little rig.
Same thing I said lol on the website it looked like trash, but in reality it’s sweet
Tikka actually has a five shot MOA guarantee for varmint and Tac models at 100 meters
From Sako website...
All Sako and Tikka rifles and cartridges are tested to guarantee 1 MOA or better accuracy - straight out of the box.

Did you ever run out of magazine length when loading the 140gr ELD for 260 in the CTR?
My J Allen finally shipped! Should be delivered today, sadly I won't be able to use it for my match tomorrow since I won't have time to play around with the magwell and get it re-zeroed. Either way, I will have it for my regional finale. Will post more pictures once I receive it and get it mounted up.
Very nice! You going to run the heavies? Will the 1:8 stabilize the 88 ELD-M? I just threw them from my Valkyrie upper and they're awesome to 920 yards (Furthest so far).
That said, my Tikka is @ The Firm Rifles getting a new Proof Research barrel. Looking forward to getting it back and a faster barrel hehe.
I am really happy how the barrel and action cerakote finish did turn out, never cerakoted barreled action before with this color.
Perfect camouflauge in arctic nature

I have some 88's that I've tested before with less then desirable results so I'm guessing I would need a 7" or 7.5" twist to stabilize those puppies unfortunately. I do have some 80's I'm going to try, and if those don't work then I will drop down to the 77's.
Gotta love the proof barrels, definitely worth the money!
Don't over look the 75 grain ELD's, either. Those shot lasers in my 18" WOA barrel.
Man, you're making me wanna rebarrel my 223 Remington so I can shoot the heavies in that. Most I can run in a 1:9 (efficiently) is the 69smk.
I'm pretty good at that! I may even go one step further though and go to a 223AI with a 7 just for the added speed with the 88's.
My first Tikka. T3x Tac A1 in .308 w/ Steiner T5xi 5-25x56 with Badger Ordinance mount. Changed how I view shooting. It's still better than I am, but I'm a Tikka lifer now.

Shot a local last minute match yesterday just before our regional finale. I was also able to use the J Allen and it was even better then I was expecting! If you can't tell, alot of my buddies feel the same about J Allen's. For some reason I can't upload my video of the stage.
